Binningup Crayfishing in Feb

 

I haven't been out much over the school holidays but we had a small window where the swell and tides dropped down and we had a constant easterly for a few days. Which ment some ground in close would be clear enough to dive on only a few hundred metres off shore.

My old mans mate hadn't been diving in 15years and he was keen to have a trial run so a shallow dive was a great place to practise and take it all back in. Wayneo was straight back into it grabbing crays and being our catch bag man. A few Southern Fighters around also which is good to see, we threw them back after we realised we had a big feed of reds. 

I'm not a full bottle on Crayfish migration but my guess is these crays have come back in and would be here all winter??

 

Thanks again for the support and watching. Cheers
